*** Microsoft is bribing "Technology Support Center (TSC)" a Nigerian computer company with $400,000.00 to install Windows after TSC already bought an operating system. To get around the word "bribe" they are calling it "marketing activities". ***

XUL is the widget set of Mozilla. Because it is XML based, it is more secure because there is less parsing and less chance of programming errors. It will also allow digitally signed remote XUL applications to run. Mozilla is working on a phone version browser.
I run my own mail server, I have been running for years. I do not trust ISP on privacy, some do not support encrypted pop or imap, some don't support TLS or ESMTP.
I have to get special ISP and service to support my mail server, Verizon blocks port 25 on their FIOS, except for business account, which cost much more, and requires "Their equipment" on your site.
If you want secure mail, run your own server. If your ISP blocks port 25, so you can't get mail, They are destroying your privacy.
I have looked at ECMAScript V4 and it is much better than V3. I see major changes, all for the better, The question is how backward compatibility is it? AND How much backward compatibility is needed. Like HTML, JavaScript is evolving, like it should. Is XHTML a different language than HTML 3.0?
My feeling is it should just go to the new version, get it in FireFox 3.0, start testing it there. see what happens.
Oregon Is the home of the Linux foundation, Linus, TVLinux, Silicon Forest, and many other Open Source and techie projects. The state trys to protect its citizens from evil. (Not enough from software monoplies, but trying).
Older Americans will be the hardest hit by the layoffs.
1> Americans they are more expensive
2> they are older
but some also have more knowledge than thoses that are younger or in other countries
There is a protocol that supports end to end encryption, ESMTP. I use courier-mta on Linux as my mail server, sendmail also supports it. The problem is there are those admins that are clueless and don't know about ESMTP encryption or don't care or use older MSwindows. If I required TLS I could not send half my mail.
This protocol would only protect against passive snooping, if the DNS was poisoned then the man-in-the-middle attack would work if they did not have a signed certificate.
Alcohol and drugs can effect the physical makeup of the brain. On the other foot, when your 50 it is great to feel like a kid:)
Isn't XP secure? Is MS selling defective software?
on
Buy Vista or Else

· Score: 0, Flamebait
If they are selling something defective and unsecure, is that not against the law? Should you not get a free replacement of a OS to one that is secure? Are they going to warranty the new product in term of security? Are they just out to make money or are they doing this for the consumer?
We ALL know the answers to these questions, so why use Vista when here are other OSs that fix the problems.
First MS has to do a balancing act between ads and people tolerance of those ads. Too many ads and people will stop. Next there will be add blockers, MS would have to lock down the OS so tight that the user will have no choices thus no users. Linux will do better, around the world there are pockets of Linux infrastructure, and these will just grow. Finally, I will never use MSwindows, so there will always be Linux as long as I am alive. Now I have to start worrying about MS assassins;-)
IBM and Novell can afford $5000, a small linux project of just a few people $200 is a major burden.
It costs about $100 per TVLinux show ( tapes, food, equipment), all paid by one person. TVLinux just wants to inform the TV public about open source and Linux. Do I drop 2-3 shows to pay for a "MARK". I think the rate should be $20-$50 for very small projects.
Mozilla/Firefox browser uses a XML interface that is better than HTML called XUL. All the extensions for Firefox use XUL and Javascript. But signed XUL&Javascript Apps can be server over the web also. Why not use a better interface language than HTML? Yes it is not compatible with IE, but for better specialized applications it would be work.
Shipping with out the Windows media player allows for other media players to gain a foot hold, but a the browser would still be IE. I think they should ship both IE AND Firefox and let the consumers pick which one they want.
The reason there are so many extensions is the basic design of firefox supports extensions. Firefox is build using XUL, Javascript and XPCOM. This makes features easy to add. The Firefox Architecure is great. Watch it grow.
